Chapter 8

Li Shen’s first reaction was he is hallucinating. But very quickly, the woman under the streetlight also noticed him. She looked up, her gaze glued on him. Embarrassment is written on Yu Wan’s face.

Yu Wan didn’t think that she would encounter Li Shen while she was out on a run. No, wait, it’s Li Shen right? Not some young man who looks like Li Shen.

The two stared at each other for ten seconds in the silent night. They finally determined that the other was not an illusion or a mistaken person. Yu Wan hung up the phone and leaned against the bedframe.

Yu Wan stood up at once. There was panic on her face. She has dealt with many difficult customers before but she doesn’t know how to deal with the current situation.

Yu Wan felt a chill from the evening breeze. She had been sitting there for a while. Her body which had been warmed up from the run was cold again. She licked her lips and decided to greet him, ending this confrontation in the cold wind.

“Li….” She realized it was improper to call his name and swallowed the word “Shen” down. “Mr. Li.”

It’s Mr. Li again. Where do you most want to live in City A?

The corner’s of Li Shen’s lips evoked a small arc. In the past, she would call him Ah Shen and sometimes she would call him husband intimately. Now, to her, he is just Mr. Li.

He smiled indifferently, “Miss Yu, do you live here too?” Embarrassment is written on Yu Wan’s face.

With the tight security in this neighborhood, they would not allow just anyone to come in for a run. So, since she is sitting there in sportswear, the obvious reason is she lives here.

Hearing the word “too” come out of his mouth set off a storm in Yu Wan’s heart, “You also live here?”

Li Shen lightly nodded, “En. It’s that villa at the front.”

Yu Wan let out an “oh” and her cold fingertips gradually tightened. Li Shen also pursed his lips as the two fell into silence again. In order to look at the scenery, I used qinggong to fly everywhere and fell to death many times.

Both of them noticed the silence this time was different from before.

City A’s television station ABA would have a public poll every year where anyone living in City A can participate.

The question is–––Where do you most want to live in City A?

Because of its beautiful scenery and thriving commercial streets, the suburban area around Lize Park won first place in beautiful landscapes for several consecutive years. It is not as prosperous as the Starlight Plaza area but the pace of life is more comfortable. Although Starlight Park's scenery can compete with Lize Park, Starlight Park's surrounding commercial area is not as developed so it lost in convenience.

Yu Wan and Li Shen both participated in the survey. Just like everyone else in City A, they both like Lize Park. At that time, they were both squeezed together in a house that is less than twenty square meters. Living in a mansion in Lize Park is living the dream.

Now, both of them have moved in. That is to say, their previous wish has been fulfilled.

The only difference is that they both lived in two different types of luxury homes.

No, hers is not a luxury home. Yu Wan corrected. It will be strengthened in the future.

At this time, Li Shen’s eyes, which fans have praised for being 'starry,” was covered in a layer of fog. After breaking up with Yu Wan, he was still obsessed with Lize Park. It’s just that he didn’t expect Yu Wan to also feel the same.

Does she also reminisce of their past? Li Shen felt he was comical. When they broke up, she was so determined. How could she cherish him? It must be she purely like Lize Park.

Li Shen finally relaxed his expression and smiled, “Congratulations, you finally got what you want.”

Yu Wan thought that Li Shen was mocking her but she didn’t have any complaints. She also smiled at him and said, “Congratulations to you too.”

Li Shen didn’t respond back when the phone in Yu Wan’s hand sounded, “Youxian Restaurant is the best place to drink under the silver moonlight. Consider it.”

Yu Wan, “……”

Let her drop dead right now!! She pointed to the other end of the concrete road.

She quickly locked her phone and pretended nothing happened. However, it’s so quiet here that not one word left Li Shen’s ear.

It is the speech he recorded for the game’s NPC Xie Liang.

He stared at Yu Wan in a daze. Yu Wan, on the other hand, felt that his gaze was filled with playfulness.

Her palms began to sweat as she forced out a laugh, “Uhm, I am discussing Director Hu’s daughter’s wedding. Miss Hu also played this game so I was trying to understand it.”

Li Shen listened to her explanation and was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Oh, you also have to understand my voice?” Teacher Yu can use this move and beat her with this surprise attack.

“…..” She couldn’t possibly say because she hasn’t reached level 30, she couldn’t unlock the restaurant. So, she can only search for the video online which is uploaded by others. Also, why is he so focused on this matter, can’t he just let it go?

Embarrassment is written on Yu Wan’s face. This is a far cry from the elegant and social manner she showed at Mr. Gao’s wedding. They finally determined that the other was not an illusion or a mistaken person.

Li Shen was amused by this, “There’s no use in listening to my voice to understand the game. You should look more into game strategies instead." Do you really not consider getting back together?

“…..” Yu Wan was positive he is intentionally teasing her, “En, I will. I am already testing the game out.”

Li Shen knows better than anyone Yu Wan knows nothing about games. In his university days, when he told her to turn on voice communications, she doesn’t even understand what he means. “Can you really play?”

“…..Yes.” Although she had been killed twice and scammed an NPC, she can still play.

Li Shen nodded but didn’t believe her. With Yu Wan’s skills, it is already extraordinary she can find her way in the game. But, he didn’t say anything and simply ended the topic, “I am done with my workout. I’ll go back first.”

“Oh, okay.” Yu Wan answered and suddenly remembered the hot search in the new year, “Oh, right. I read on the news you got into a car accident. Are you okay?”

When she mentioned the car accident, Li Shen frowned. Yu Wan’s heart sank. She said too much. Maybe couples who’ve broken up should remain indifferent towards each other.

“It’s nothing. I will go first.” Li Shen said with irritation. He turned and walked in the opposite direction of Yu Wan. There’s no use in listening to my voice to understand the game.

“Uh….” Yu Wan called out to him, “Isn’t your house in the other direction?”

She pointed to the other end of the concrete road.

“…..” Li Shen calmly turned around and walked past her.

The direction he is walking to is also the direction of her house. In order to not let him think she is following him, Yu Wan waited for him to walk a little further before walking back. The next chapter is a flashback.

Back at home, Yu Wan gave Zhou Xiaoning a call. Zhou Xiaoning, who had just gotten off work at this time, was tidying her things as she asked, “What? Want me to play games with you?”

“No. Ning Ning, let me ask you. Did you know Li Shen also lives in my neighborhood?”

Zhou Xiaoning froze and thought she heard wrong, “What? Lu Shen lives in the same neighborhood as you?”

“…..Keep your voice down.”

“Oh….” Zhou Xiaoning scanned her surroundings. Fortunately, most of her colleagues are gone. “Where did you see it from? Was it a paparazzi?”

This chapter is scrapped from readlightnovel.org

Yu Wam smiled, “I saw him when I was out running.”

Zhou Xiaoning, “…..”

She was silent for a while, “Wow, what ill-fated relationship you have.”

Yu Wan thought the same way too, “You’ve been helping me remodel this place for a while and you’ve never seen him once?”

“No, I was completely focused on the project manager the entire time!”

Yu Wan, “……”

Since Zhou Xiaoning doesn’t know, she doesn’t have anything else to ask. She went back into her bedroom, turned on the computer and sat on her bed, “Okay, I’m gonna continue practicing.”

“Wait a minute. What happened after you bumped into each other? What did you talk about?”

“Casual talks. Only a few words.” Congratulations, you finally got what you want.

Zhou Xiaoning earnestly advised, “You say, you two were brought together by fate. Do you really not consider getting back together? Even the heavens are helping you!”

Yu Wan slightly pursed her lips, “If you have nothing to do then come by and help me play games.”

“Find Li Shen to help you. I remember he is very good at playing games.”

“….Bye.” Yu Wan hung up the phone and leaned against the bedframe.

There are quite a few properties around Lize Park. How is it that she and Li Shen coincidentally picked the same one. Is it really a fated relationship?

Yu Wan shook the thought out of her head and logged into the game once again.

In order to reach level 30, she stayed up all night and only went to bed at one in the morning. The next morning, she dilly-dallied on all of her daily tasks because she doesn’t want to play anymore in the afternoon.

Wei Shao and Zhao Xin are at a meeting at the moment while Tu Jiajia is sitting in front of her computer deep in thought. Yu Wan entered the office and called out to her. Tu Jiajia saw her coming over and cried out, “Teacher Yu, didn’t President Wei allow you to take the day off? Why are you here?”

Yu Wan said, “I’m tired of playing video games. I’m going out for a breather."

Tu Jiajia, “….”

She felt Teacher Yu is truly extraordinary. Others would play video games after being tired of work whereas she would go to work after being tired of playing games.

If others don’t know, they might think she is a professional player.

“Teacher Yu, how is your playing?” Tu Jiajia curiously asked. It’s that villa at the front.

Yu Wan thought, “The landscape in the game is pretty nice.”

“….Hm?” It must be she purely like Lize Park.

“In order to look at the scenery, I used qinggong to fly everywhere and fell to death many times.”

Tu Jiajia, “…..”

Maybe when she is dueling with Miss Hu, Teacher Yu can use this move and beat her with this surprise attack.

“Oh right, don’t you also play games?” Yu Wan felt that Tu Jiajia can play judging by her appearance.

Tu Jiajia responded. “I can play a little but I don’t have time to play at the moment. I haven’t finished revising the plan.” She wrinkled her face, “Teacher Yu, did you read the file I sent you?”

“Yes, have you read the books I recommended?” Li Shen’s first reaction was he is hallucinating.

“……They’re too expensive. I am only an apprentice, my salary is only 1,500 a month.”

“Doesn't the company also include your lunch meal? There are also snacks and drinks in the pantry.”

“…..I can simply live off that.” Tu Jiajia facepalmed, “I still have to pay for the Internet.” Li Shen also pursed his lips as the two fell into silence again.

Tu Jiajia this young apprentice always reminded Yu Wan of her younger self. She listened to her bitter complaints and smiled, “You know, when I was first starting out, I had it much worse.”

The author has something to say: The next chapter is a flashback.

Lize Park has a special meaning for Yu Wan and Li Shen. It will be strengthened in the future.
